Kaly

Kaly, the new thriller directed by Najeem Koya is a movie that looks exciting at many places. The second half is the key area of this movie and in that part the movie does manage to keep us speculating about the consequences. But the lack of conviction towards the end and the elaborate time they… Continue reading Kaly

Aami

Summarizing a person’s life into a movie is indeed a challenge and every story may not be a suitable one for cinematic interpretations. Madhavikutty aka Kamala Das was a fascinating character because of her unapologetic approach in writing her thoughts on romance. Kamal’s Aami, a biopic on Madhavikutty is more like a visual summary of… Continue reading Aami

Rosapoo starring Biju Menon and Neeraj Madhav in main roles along with Anjali, is… Continue reading Rosapoo

The characters in this movie aren’t… Continue reading Phantom Thread

While Nivin Pauly as an actor gives his full to convince the viewer, the screenplay… Continue reading Hey Jude

Which doesn’t mean the film needs some suspense elements at the end. Yes! I’m talking about Mammootty’s latest release ‘Street Lights .Debutant Shamdath Sainudheens’  ‘Street Lights’ is a film… Continue reading Street Lights

Aadhi

Aadhi is a hastily made star launch vehicle for Pranav Mohanlal that tries to squeeze in a lot of tried and tested formulas in to one story. Jeethu Joseph is trying to use all the story ingredients he is famous for. But the problem is the fact that we have seen similar ideas in the… Continue reading Aadhi

Padmavati

Sanjay Leela Bhansali is known for depicting epics of grand scale in a dramatic yet captivating way. His way of carrying melodrama in scenes, which is largely typical but still alluring is something I find admirable as a cine enthusiast and his new movie Padmavati is nothing short from delivering all those Sanjay Leela Bhansali… Continue reading Padmavati
